Ducks in a Row

Might as well admit it. I spend a lot of time trying to "get my ducks in a row."

I was sitting in a meeting.

The woman said:
"I spent my whole life getting my ducks in order - then I found out they weren't MY ducks."

I laughed.

Then I started thinking about it.

OOPS.

Life would be simpler if I remember to make sure the ducks belong to me before I start getting them in order. Hmmmmm.
